About
the Book: In
keeping with this week’s travel theme, IWM is pleased
to announce the highly anticipated release of Mediterranean
Summer: A Season on France's Côte d'Azur
and Italy's Costa Bella, authored by David Shalleck
with Erol Munuz, and featuring a foreword by Mario Batali
and wine recommendations by Sergio Esposito.
Embark on a culinary voyage with Chef Shalleck as he recounts his tenure onboard Serenity,
an exclusive yacht chartered by one of Italy’s most prominent couples and
graced by their bevy of glitterati. During this sea adventure, Shalleck
is charged with the challenge of preparing all of the group’s summer menus—with
no repeat appearances allowed—crafting the meals exclusively with local
ingredients that reflect and simulate the flavors of each port of call.
As Serenity traverses the Mediterranean coast, the reader is drawn in
by the scenic allure of the Riviera, as Shalleck chronicles a coming-of-age experience—a
transformational period that enabled him to realize the chef he desired to become.
This riveting blend of travelogue and culinary memoir provides complementary
regional recipes and wine recommendations that reflect each destination’s
distinct cultural milieu, and a simplified approach to re-creating the
elegance of ‘La Dolce Vita at Sea.’
